Wish I had a 40 to look at but it is too long ago when I helped disassemble one to remember details. We did pull the doors though and don't remember anything special we did. This is where we need Flackmaster's expertise.

With the lower hinge pin out, will the door lift up or out at all or does it seem rigid top or bottom? Did the hinge pin need to come out or could the hinge be unbolted from the door instead? The upper hinge is kind of an odd shape and I couldn't find any photos to remind me how the upper hinge attaches on the door side -- is the arm going inside a slot and the bolts that hold the hinge located inside the door or are the bolts exposed on the edge? If in a slot, could there be a hidden bolt or possibly a roll pin? If no and the bolts are visible and out, will the door lift off or slide away from either hinge at all? Any hints on where the bind seems to be happening would help jog the memory. Is there a door check of the bar type where one side is fastened to the pillar and a bar sides inside the door?
